Monogenic Scale Space Based Region Covariance Matrix Descriptor for Face Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we have presented a new face recognition algorithm based on region covariance matrix (RCM) descriptor computed in monogenic scale space. In the proposed model, energy information obtained using monogenic filter is used to represent a pixel at different scales to form region covariance matrix descriptor for each face image during training phase. An eigenvalue based distance measure is used to compute the similarity between face images. Extensive experimentation on AT&T and YALE face database has been conducted to reveal the performance of the monogenic scale space based region covariance matrix method and comparative analysis is made with the basic RCM method and Gabor based region covariance matrix method to exhibit the superiority of the proposed technique.

A Kernel Gabor-Based Weighted Region Covariance Matrix for Face Recognition
This paper proposes a novel image region descriptor for face recognition, named kernel Gabor-based weighted region covariance matrix (KGWRCM). As different parts are different effectual in characterizing and recognizing faces, we construct a weighting matrix by computing the similarity of each pixel within a face sample to emphasize features. We then incorporate the weighting matrices into a re...

Video-based face recognition has attracted significant attention in many applications such as media technology, network security, human-machine interfaces, and automatic access control system in the past decade. The usual way for face recognition is based upon the grayscale image produced by combining the three color component images. In this work, we consider grayscale image as well as color s...
متن کاملLocal gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition
Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...

Gabor features encoded by local binary pattern, could achieve state-of-the-art FR results in large-scale face databases.However, the time and space complexityof Gabor transformation are too high for many practicalFR applications. We propose a new and efficient local feature extraction scheme, namely MONOGENIC BINARY CODING (MBC), for face representation and recognition. The original signal is d...

In this paper, we introduce a novel descriptor for employing covariance of motion and appearance features for human action and gesture recognition. In our approach, we compute kinematic features from optical flow and first and second-order derivatives of intensities to represent motion and appearance respectively. These features are then used to construct covariance matrices which capture joint...
